Milan might ban the sale of takeaway food after midnight. This is to help people sleep. There is a lot of noise on the streets in downtown areas at night. Milan wants to ban takeaways in areas that are known for their "wild" nightlife. The ban would start in mid-May and finish in November.
Milan's deputy mayor said the goal is for people to have fun, and for locals to sleep. However, many people do not like the ban. Many think the food ban would not stop the noise. One man said people would not go home at midnight because they cannot get a takeaway. He also said tourists want to eat pizza.
